Pressure Cooker Lemon Turkey Meatball Soup

Share This Recipe

The best part of this soup is the leftovers! Tender turkey meatballs and cannellini beans in a lemony broth make a hearty soup that is great for any night of the week. This riff on Italian wedding soup is sure to please the pickiest eaters. Sautéing provides extra flavor, but if you prefer to skip this step for a quicker meal, just add all the ingredients to the pot and cook 5 minutes instead of 3.

Directions

Mealthy Tip

Use 85% lean ground turkey for moist and tender meatballs. If you prefer, you can substitute ¾ cup orzo pasta instead of using beans. Use a melon baller to scoop and make the meatballs an even size.

Serve with crusty garlic bread. Top with extra chopped parsley and/or grated Parmesan cheese.

Sara Jones says:

This soup is fantastic! I didn’t have any kale so I used some of celery greens which added great flavor. The meatballs are so flavorful, I added a little extra garlic because you can never go wrong with more garlic!!

France Cevallos says:

Recipe submitter here....if you are getting odd ingredient amounts (ie: 3/4 egg), make sure you selected 8 servings to get the correct ingredient amounts how I originally wrote the recipe. For some reason it defaults to 6 servings, hence the strange amounts.

Mikila Zaorski says:

Turned out very delicious! I was afraid I’d made my meatballs too big and got paranoid about them not cooking all the way through, so I just cooked for 10 mins. Wasn’t a problem. My only issue was prep time. 30 minutes? Ha! Not for this one! Def over an hour for me. But I am no pro.

Antonia George says:

Delicious soup, flavorful, and great for fall. I used greens instead of kale, and I really loved the flavor it added. Served perfect with garlic bread on a cool fall evening!

Nathalie D says:

I used ground chicken to make the meatballs, nothing fancy about them. That was ok though because the lemon soup more than made up for it. Solid meatballs and a flavor packed soup is a winning combo. The best part, being able to cook everything in a single pot. The batch also makes a lot so you'll definitely have left overs if you're not feeding at least 4 adults.

Ivonne Norman says:

So while this dish was amazing 😊 I found it difficult to cook turkey meatballs in the MP as directed by this recipe. When I attempted to move meatballs to cook the other side, they stuck to the bottom of the pot and would at times, crumble apart. I’m going to make this again but this time I’m cooking the meatballs separately in the oven and add them in later.

Debbie Bullard says:

Uh, 3/4 of an egg? 3/4 of a 15 oz can of beans ( = 1/2 cup, 3/4 cup, what?)? Really? Very difficult for a novice cook to follow. I told my beginner level 12 yr old dtr to use 1 lb turkey, 1/3 cup crumbs, ONE egg, and a whole can of beans! And she made an excellent soup. Her confidence restored. The recipe is otherwise delish! And a keeper. *** and she has become a pressure cooker queen in the last year!!!
